GMC Is Charged
ron Tink toTakeB ride
With Bias Against Miss Linda Benjamin
Jewish Worker

The Michigan Civil Rights Com-
mission accused the General Motors
Corp. of discriminating against a
Jewish employe who has been
working at the Fisher Body Plant
in Pontiac for 20 years.
Philip Marlowe, 18500 Snowden,
charged that he was denied up-
grading from his present job as a
checking fixture builder, subjected
to excessive and unequal discipline
and repeatedly harassed and de-
famed because of his religion by
fellow employes and supervisory
personnel.
On March 1, the commission gave
GM 15 days to reply, but said that
as yet there has been no answer.
Under commission rules, the com-
plaint will be considered admitted
for a public hearing if GM fails to
file an answer within the alotted
time.
The commission voted to bring
the charges against GM after its
staff reported that the auto firm
had refused to conciliate the mat-
ter, and that an investigation of
Marlowe's complaint disclosed
sufficient grounds for action.
GM denied the accusation saying
that Marlowe has held numerous
types of jobs since joining the com-
pany and that he has been ad-
vanced from production line work
to the skilled trades. The spokes-
man said that "at no time has 'Mr.
Marlowe's religion been a consider-
ation by General Motors with re-
spect to his employment, or in
making disposition of any griev-
ances he may have filed personally
or through his bargaining
agent . . ."

Canadian Changes Mind
on Buying Israeli Bank

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Benjamin
Dunkelman of Toronto, who last
week was given by the Bank of
Israel an option to purchase Ellern's
Bank at Tel Aviv, was reported
here to have bowed out of his bid
to buy that financial institution.
His Israeli representatives were re-
ported to have halted negotiations
for the purchase. _
Ellern's had been acquired last
year by another Tel Aviv bank,
Feuchtwanger's. Both institutions
were taken over by the Bank of
Israel several weeks ago when, ac-
cording to the government, some
of the Feuchtwanger directors were
found to have engaged in some
practices which endangered the
soundness of the institution.
However, the Bank of Israel has
announced since that Ellern's finan-
cial position was perfectly sound.
The only two contenders left in
the field now as possible purchas-
ers of Ellern's are the Manufac-
turers Association Bank and the
Workers Bank.

Argentine Abstention
on OAS Human Rights
Committee Explained

BUENOS' AIRES (JTA) — For-
eign Minister Nicanor Costa Men-
dez of Argentina said that there
had been misunderstanding by Jew-
ish organizations of Argentina's
neutral position on the question of
inclusion of a human rights com-
mittee in the charter of the Or-
ganization of American States.
Argentina abstained in a vote on
the proposal during the third for-
eign ministers conference of the
OAS last week.
Dr. Isaac Goldenberg, president
of the DATA, the central represen-
tative. agency of Argentine Jewry,
told a luncheon attended by Jose
Mora, general secretary of the
OAS, that in abstaining, Argentina
had not lived up to the expecta-
tions of the Argentine people. The
vote had been 18 for, none against
and Argentina abstaining.
At a reception in his honor
given Wednesday by the delega-
tion heads, the foreign minister
told journalists that Argentina's
abstention "should not be viewed
as showing immindfulness of hu-
man rights" and "much less as
a type of discrimination."
He said the decision to abstain
stemmed from the Argentine dele-
gation's belief that the proposed
human rights committee had not
been given the "necessary struc-
ture" and its competence had not
yet been defined.
